Bharathanatyam, the oldest classical dance of India is literally poetry in motion. It is a stylized dance originating in the temples of South India, its poses immortalized in the sculptures of almost every traditional South Indian temple. This divine art was handed over as a living tradition from one generation to the next as this style was originated from Kalakshethra. Come learn from the best with Natiyakalmandram. 
​
Bharatha decribed the fundamentals of the art as  Bha--Bhava or expression, Ra-- raga or melody and Tha-- thala or rhythm .

The dance itself is divided  in:

Nritta  or hythmic movements of pure aesthetic value. 
Nritya  or movements in which  facial expressions of emotions, and 
Mudras, or hand gestures are emphasized and 
Natya or dance with a dramatic aspect.
